I had back surgery sevral years ago & now need another. Then I ha...

I have taken Xanax off and on for 28 years for anxiety and I have never had any negative side effect from it. It helps me to relax...to feel normal.

Yes this is a side effect of Xanax. That is the worst drug ever invented in my opinion. Doctors just put you on this crap and don't tell you anything about the very serious and negative side effects of this drug. I was on this drug for about 2 years and went into severe depression, cried all the time, thought of suicide constantly, and I didn't come out of my room except to eat for over a year. I wouldn't talk to my family, I was very hostile to everyone and missed an entire year of my life. I am very anti Xanax or anti benzodiazapines in general they all are bad and anyone taking them should stop now and never use them again.
